A clinical method of assessing speech and language development in preschool children is described. Sixty-two 3-year-old children were assessed by a pediatrician, a speech therapist, and a psychologist. In 55 children there was agreement between all three examiners. Three children with articulation problems were rated as having normal comprehensive and expressive language by the psychologist. Three children were rated as having normal speech and language development by the pediatrician and speech therapist but delayed by the psychologist; all three had behavior problems. One further child rated as having a speech and language problem by the pediatrician was rated as normal by the speech therapist and psychologist. It is concluded that pediatricians can make reliable assessments of speech and language development.
本文描述了一种评估学龄前儿童言语和语言发展的临床方法。62名3岁儿童接受了儿科医生、言语治疗师和心理学家的评估。在55名儿童中，三位检查者的评估结果一致。三名有发音问题的儿童被心理学家评定为具有正常的综合语言和表达能力。三名儿童被儿科医生和言语治疗师评定为言语和语言发展正常，但被心理学家评定为发育迟缓；这三名儿童均有行为问题。另外一名被儿科医生评定为有言语和语言问题的儿童，被言语治疗师和心理学家评定为正常。研究得出结论，儿科医生能够对言语和语言发展做出可靠的评估。
